Domaine la Bouïssière
Thierry and Gilles Faravel's Domaine la Bouïssière in Gigondas is exceptional in many ways, apart from the personality of Thierry himself, it is the site of the vineyard, high up under the 'Dentelles de Montmirail' which makes the defining difference.
In contrast to the vines being baked on the plains of stones at the foot of the hill, the Bouïssière vines benefit from cooling air at night falling from the high peaks, and the wines retain a freshness and subtle persistence which is very different to the sometimes bludgeoning broadness and alcoholic heat of the wines on the plain.
Gilles and Thierry Faravel employ non-interventionalist practices to make wines as naturally as possible, resulting in wines of immense concentration and depth, with true vibrancy and the capacity to age for ten to fifteen years.

What's Inside the Case?
This case contains two 75cl bottles of each of the following six wines (twelve bottles in total):
2 x 2021 LIRAC La Dame Rousse, Domaine de la Mordorée
A benchmark of the appellation from one of its most revered producers. Expect a beautifully aromatic and silky wine, offering a sublime balance of ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit with notes of violet, garrigue, and spice. Elegant, refined, and utterly compelling.
2 x 2022 RASTEAU Les Coteaux, Domaine des Escaravailles
A powerful and expressive Rasteau that captures the sun-drenched intensity of the terroir. This is a rich, full-bodied wine bursting with concentrated dark plum, blackberry, and liquorice, all wrapped in a structure of ripe, velvety tannins. A classic example of powerhouse Grenache.
2 x 2021 CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Tradition Domaine Jean Royer
A supple Grenache loaded with cherry fruit, floral notes and a hint of spice. Medium to full bodied, this a superb approachable Châteauneuf du Pape. Ready to drink but with a few years ahead. It will be good friends with a leg of lamb or a venison stew.
2 x 2023 VACQUEYRAS, Domaine la Bouïssière
A superb example of Vacqueyras' structured and age-worthy potential. This wine is robust and deeply coloured, offering intense notes of black cherry, fig, and pepper. Its firm tannins and vibrant acidity promise excellent development in the cellar, though it is already deeply satisfying.

An absolute masterclass in Gigondas from the legendary Domaine Santa Duc. This wine is a mosaic of different plots ('lieux-dits'), creating a wine of incredible dimension and minerality.
